ஹூ என் காதலே
யாவும் நீயே
கண்கள் தேடிடும்
மின்னல் நீயே
Oh, my love,
You are everything,
The one my eyes search for,
You are the lightning bolt.
காதல் பேசாய் அன்பே
தூறாயோ உயிரில்
சீராய் என் இதழ் வேங்குழலி
தீராய் என் இடர் பேர் ஒலியே
Won't you speak of love, my beloved?
Won't you shower like a drizzle upon my soul?
Unite with my lips, oh sweet flute,
Banish my distress, oh grand ray of light!
ம்ம்ம்ம்ம்
சிறையில் சிந்தும் பிறையும் நீயே
விழியின் துளியில் சமயம் நீயே
இழந்தேன் எந்தன் மொழி
நான் உன் முன்னிலே தீர்க்கிறேனே
Mmmmm
You are the crescent moon shedding light into a prison,
You are time captured inside a teardrop.
I lost my speech,
Yet I find my resolution standing before you.
ஓ என் காதலே
யாவும் நீயே
மாறதோ உன் பார்வையிலே
என் கையில் நீ இன்று நிலையேe
சீராய் என் இதய வெங்குழலி
தீராய் என் இடர் பேர் ஒலியே
Oh, my love,
You are everything,
Will things not transform in your gaze?
Today, you are the constancy in my hands,
Unite with my lips, oh sweet flute,
Banish my distress, oh grand ray of light!
Hoo en kaadhale
Oh, my love,
Yaavum neeye
You are everything,
Kangal thedidum
The one my eyes search for,
Minnal neeye
You are the lightning bolt.
Kaadhal paesaaiyoo anbae
Won't you speak of love, my beloved?
Thooraaiyoo uyiril
Won't you shower like a drizzle upon my soul?
Seraai en idhazh venguzhali
Unite with my lips, oh sweet flute,
Theeraai en idar per oliyae
Banish my distress, oh grand ray of light!
Mmmmm
Mmmmm
Siraiyil sindhum piraiyum neeyae
You are the crescent moon shedding light into a prison,
Vizhiyin thuliyil samayam neeye
You are time captured inside a teardrop.
Izhandhen endhan mozhi
I lost my speech,
Naan un munnilae theerkirenae
Yet I find my resolution standing before you.
Oh en kaadhale
Oh, my love,
Yaavum neeye
You are everything,
Maaradho un paarvaiyilae
Will things not transform in your gaze?
En kaiyil nee indru nilaiyae
Today, you are the constancy in my hands,
Seraai en idhazh venguzhali
Unite with my lips, oh sweet flute,
Theeraai en idar per oliyae
Banish my distress, oh grand ray of light!
